    My vehicle was parked. I used the auto start. Let it run for 2 minutes or so. I went to the vehicle, put my personal property in the front seat. Closed the door. Went to the backseat to grab an ice scraper, to clean off the car. Closed the door, and the back window caved in. I am now afraid to drive my vehicle. I could have had my dogs in the back of the car. What happens if the full piece of glass that is my roof…
